Add a configuration profile that defines the configuration for DataStax Enterprise clusters. The config profile informs
Lifecycle Manager which supported version of DataStax Enterprise to install, configure, and manage.

Accessing OpsCenter Lifecycle Manager

The Lifecycle Manager (LCM) interface opens in a separate browser tab from the
OpsCenter interface. After completing an install job using LCM, return to the
OpsCenter interface in the other browser tab to view metrics and other information
about the recently installed cluster.

Tip: In addition to the web interface, every aspect of LCM can be automated
using the LCM API.

Prerequisites

Lifecycle Manager performs provisioning and system configuration actions, which
requires secrets such as SSH credentials and DSE user passwords.
